Operator can you help me, help me if you please
Give me the right area code and the number, that I need
My rider left upon a midnight flyer singin like a summer breeze
I think shes somewhere down south,
Down about baton rouge
But I just cant remember no number, a number I can use
Directory don't have it, central done forgot it
Got to find a number to use
Tryin to check out a number, tryin to run down a line
Operator said that's privelaged information
And it ain't no business of mine
Its flooding down in Texas, the polls are out in Utah
Got to find a private line
She could be hangin round a steel mill working in a house of blue lights
Riding a getaway bus outta oakland, talkin to the night
I don't know where shes goin, I don't care where shes been
Long as shes been doin it right
